. well with the pandemic casing the world's poorest so harby un has just a temporary basic income to wait about 2700000000 people in developing countries. is head of the united nations development program and joins us from new york welcome to d.w. so how much would this basic income be and how would the system worked. well in its essence it is a program that each country needs to examine in terms of the people who are considered to be living below the poverty line or just the opposite because what we are seeing right now and what has compel us to publish this analysis is that you see an escalating situation of the pandemic in particular over the last few weeks its spread in developing countries and there the reality is a very tough one namely that certainly 20 percent of people and their livelihoods in an informal sector very often social protection systems are not available the
10:14 pm
very measures to contain the pandemic are the ones that are also drive people into extreme poverty and therefore what we have done is an analysis of 1st well what would it cost to write such a temporary basic income for a period of 6 months as we await a vaccine as countries have to cope with this and yesterday's summit you know how after one percent of g.d.p. of a country and for many countries this is now an opportunity to look at how i think and use national budgets resources but we can also recognize that in many developing countries fiscal space is it's the need constrained right now and therefore we have also looked at that standstill is and that restructuring as one possibility by which countries but gain that fiscal space over 3 trillion dollars this year i'm going to be repaid in terms of either loans or interest and a fraction of this will be sufficient to be able to enable many countries to put such a scheme in place right so if these countries can't afford welfare programs. how
10:15 pm
or why would they. embark on this onus on this a system that that you've laid out into it it seems odd. well 1st of all many developing countries have put measures in place cash transfer programs there are many bits a geisha stabilisation measures are being implemented across the developing world yes a country like tokyo establishing just a matter of 8 weeks a national cash transfer program reaching 12 percent of its population we have learned from pakistan where its emergency cash transfer program is reaching $109000000.00 people with budgetary reallocations of them frankly $1000000000.00 so many countries are 1st of all with an unprecedented situation forced to now put these measures in place but what we're also sees it's not a one off cash transfer we are faced with a period of at least 6 perhaps 12 months while the world waits a vaccine in that period well over $100000000.00 people additional people could fall into extreme poverty hunger could affect $250000000.00 people the consequences
10:16 pm
both at national level but also internationally and oversee very serious moue issue well thank you for spending that out for us i think from the u.n. development program thank you. a court here in germany has given a 2 year suspended sentence to a former nazi concentration camp god for his role in killing thousands of people during world war 2 a former guard known as bruno days now 93 he insists he wasn't responsible for the killings that took place the trial is likely to be one of the last of those involved in the holocaust. a 2 year suspended prison sentence from a juvenile court not the outcome one might expect for a role in the murder of over $5000.00 people but bruno de now aged $93.00 was a small cog in the nazis machinery of killing and he was a teenager at the time he was
10:17 pm
a guard at the former home of concentration camp near good danske in what is now poland from august 144 to april 945 historians estimate around 65000 people were murdered here in various ways in a gas chamber or by shooting or poison or through disease and exhaustion bruno deeded sentry g.-t. keeping watch preventing inmates from fleeing in court he denied guilt saying he needed little about the killings and was not in a position to prevent suffering but still thought survivor martic do an inverse of it who gave evidence in the case remembers it differently. so his testimony before the court was a lie nothing but a lie because standing on the watchtower he had a view of the whole camp right under his nose as he stood next to the machine gun and so that if anything it happened an inmate rebellion or a riot he would have shot without hesitating. them
10:18 pm
or. it was the 2011 conviction of former camp guard john demjanjuk as an accessory to murder at the saudi border death camp that opened the way to a string of such cases against minor figures he did not kill but facilitated the killing them died before his appeal could be heard but the case helped to cement the view that in the context of the holocaust guards were perpetrators to the judges found brunow de guilty as an accessory to 5232 murders the number killed while he was at start off in his closing statement he apologized to all those who as he said went through the hell of this insanity but many survivors will feel that such words and a sentence which in effect falls short of punishment is not justice enough.
10:19 pm
turkey you have the highest the fear in istanbul will host friday prayers this week that mosques 1st such service and support it was converted into a museum more than 80 years ago originally a cathedral it is still at the heart of istanbul for 1500 years its recent conversion back to a mosque triggered an outcry and you harm as this. the highest the fear is is temples landmark. it symbolizes the byzantine the ottoman as well as the turkish period. the architecture is so marvelous that the old byzantines believed that the dome was held by god himself then beautiful there how about that little mark but it also marked that this. young man's quarter show knows everything about the handiest for 20 years he has been guiding tourists to the world heritage site and when he talks about it he is still amazed every time.
10:20 pm
but right now everything is different 1st in museums closed due to the coronavirus and then the museum was suddenly no longer a museum. because president projectile bad one turned he had years of fear back into a mosque he. still was a christian citizen of this country it saddens me but i'm trying to stay calm as a mosque the highest will still be open for visitors they can even enter free of charge in the future but the rules will probably change that we give you the short notice is getting i'm up at all not at all which. visitors will now only be permitted outside prayer times was a x. and i can see the testify that the i.s.o. fear was the most important church of christianity for centuries will be covered with curtains during worship. and the best and biggest decision ever made for turkey. it's great news for the entire muslim world which we've been longing
10:21 pm
for this for more than 80 years. to monitor this news there. i am here we can see these days and thanks to our president for this decision. many people here are happy that they had us a few years now a mosque again but there's also a lot of criticism the european union has called the decision regrettable the u.s. a disappointment pope francis said he was very distressed and unesco wants to review the hagia sophia status as a world heritage site. criticism does not only come from abroad like some people in istanbul consider the hagia sophia decision to be a political maneuver by al. ready have enough mosques in istanbul we don't need another one i think this has clearly been a political decision is it going to make you wonder if you just do that to distract
10:22 pm
people from the actual problems in this country the economic crisis and high inflation he was and is all about i also feel miserable how he is a fear is a museum because i am absolutely against making it a mosque because istanbul is home to many religious beliefs but if she hears. the tourist guide young his quarters full for example belongs to the greek orthodox minority in turkey people in his church see themselves as descendants of the byzantines who built the have years of yet in the 6th century for them it's part of their identity. but younis is reluctant to voice criticism he says his community has experienced many setbacks and yet they've always managed to move on she didn't the nationalists of course now celebrate the highest a fierce decision as a victory. because because because we're a very small community they don't hear us. in
10:23 pm
a country with more than 80000000 people it's not easy to make a few 1000 voices heard which being considered. chicks be it a car that will let you. nearly 4000000 people visited the obvious afia last year. and young is quite a shallow hopes that he can continue to show this monument to as many tourists as possible because for him regardless of its status it remains the most beautiful landmark of istanbul. after filing that report yulia hans spoke with a prominent nobel prize winning novelist or hund pummelled he has been critical of the decision to turn the highest of fear back into a mosque or one part of the great i associate here in istanbul a museum for the past 86 years part of you know schools world heritage. is now a mosque again and will echo with muslim prayers how does that make you feel what's been going through your mind in recent days in 1030 for the founder of the public

10:25 pm

10:26 pm
many millions of people who are secular i am against this but unfortunately our voices are not heard so why are people who are unhappy with this decision not speaking up one is in they are not raising their voices because that is not free speech in turkey to challenge this they're also unfortunately afraid of saying this is my life for 2 weeks are sick of their traditions please let's not change it this is important in the sense that turkish nation is this thing from this is different this thing from other muslim nations and by the fact that we are sick of her and the rest of the world knows this every single toke even if there if it was if there was a thing for our capital the ruling party islamist party are secretly open the product to be different than other muslim nations saying that like europeans we are
